Brief Answer:
Thanks for the images!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The drugs seem unlikely to explain your symptoms. However, there are no immediate red flags that should keep me worried. I will suggest you monitor these bruises and let's see whether this continues to happen or not.

I wish you well. Send a follow up image to me in 2weeks or sooner if something more concerning comes up for review and more insights/guidance.

Thanks.
